The trip comes after Rita revealed how friendship blossomed into romance with her husband as she posed as September’s Tatler cover girl.
Hot Right Now hitmaker Rita told the publication of her relationship with Taika: ‘We became really good friends for about four years and then decided to f*** it all up and get married.
‘I had never had a straight friendship with someone first before ending up with them. I honestly think it was the best way to get to know someone.’
She went on to confirm that she does recruit Taika to film her TikToks after eagle-eyed fans spotted when he is behind the camera.
Rita said: ‘The fans comment, ‘I bet Taika’s filming that – good angle, Taika, good job,’ ‘He is the expert!’

The superstar explained: ‘She is one of the smartest, most business-savvy women I’ve met. For someone to have longevity like her, you have to have that imprinted in your DNA. Maybe it’s because she’s from Croydon. We always figure it out, us Londoners.’
The exact manner in which Rita and Taika met is not clear, but what is, is that it was a long time before they started dating in 2021.
The Thor director told Louis Theroux that they were actually introduced by Twilight Robert Pattinson.
Taika was hosting a barbecue when the singer was introduced to him by another of his guests.
At the time, both were in relationships, so they began chatting as friends, and would ‘catch up where we left off and it was a good friendship.’

Coincidentally, they also each had parents who worked in pubs.
Rumours that the pair were romantically involved were sparked when the singer posted a picture of them hugging on Instagram with an ambiguous caption in April 2021.
It read: ‘Good times, memories, random things on my phone and the ones I love.’
By the next month the two were being spotted getting cosy with actress Tessa Thompson after an all-night party.
But we would have to wait a little longer for their first red carpet debut together, which came in August 2021 in Los Angeles for the premiere of The Suicide Squad.

This would become a common occurrence for the couple, who also attended the Met Gala, MTV Europe Music Awards, and the Walpole British Luxury Awards before the year was out.
The two went on to be adorable in their support of one another.
Taika dedicated an Instagram post to the singer in celebration of her being cast in the Disney+ Beauty and the Beast prequel series in February 2022, saying he was ‘super proud of this girl!’
On the other end, Rita posted her excitement about her then-boyfriend’s Thor: Love and Thunder film when she uploaded the trailer in May 2022.
‘8th July 2022!! @taikawaititi get ready for a quiet little art house film,’ she wrote.
Next, Rita and Taika appeared to be wearing wedding rings on August 8 2022, prompting people to assume they had made the next step in their relationship.
Four days later the rumour was confirmed by a source close to the couple in an interview with PEOPLE.
